not to be ignored {bedroom inspiration}

I hear it all the time--that the bedroom is the one room that people haven't focused their decorating energy on. These people, like me, have rather invested in to the public spaces of the home. However, this should not be the case--the room that one retreats to each evening for sleep and relaxation deserves the same attention if not more than other rooms in the house. Just like these..

I like simple, comfortable bedrooms. I don't like multipurpose master bedrooms that have TV's and reading areas because I think bedrooms are for sleeping and/or bedroom activities only. They should definitely be decorated and paid attention to, but only to enhance their coziness.

For me the most important thing is to create a relaxing atmosphere, a welcoming room to rest; so the usesage of pastel colors or more earthy tones helps me a lot and that is my main goal when thinking about decoration in my bedroom!Very good ideas!! Thanks a lot :)

it is easy to ignore the bedroom or at least close the bedroom door when company is over...color is really important to me for the bedroom. it sets a mood and brings calm. i LOVE that first bedroom. it definitely has more function than just sleeping.

I am swooning over that third image. That rug works so well!! I'd say bedding is most important, I need fluffy duvets, but certainly lighting and colors go hand in hand for me, equally important as the other. For the longest time I was bothered in my bedroom and I couldn't figure out why, lo and behold it was because my bedside lamp's lighting was way too bright!
